Traditional Japanese scissors, only 105mm long. The scissors are forged from a single billet, the blades and centre being beaten flat at right angles, then the bar bent, set, and carefully tempered at the elbow to form a spring. These small scissors are suitable for delicate and precise work with paper or fabric, for embroidery work, unpicking seams, even trimming house plants. Used between forefinger and thumb. Carbon steel, 35mm blade.


By purchasing this item you are confirming that you are over the age of 18, and that we may contact you prior to dispatch in order to verify this. Orders including any bladed items will incur an additional courier age verification charge and legally require delivery to persons aged 18 and over.

Care Advice

Wipe thoroughly after use to remove any plant residue or sap, and follow with a light coating of oil to protect from rust. Store in a dry environment. Sharpen with a curved secateur stone, if the blade edges are concave.
